Open showers in London - list of venues to show off
- Thread starter londonredhead
- Start date
I was at the Holborn Oasis this morning for a workout and a swim. No sign of any changes to the open showers in the pool changing room. There's new bigger shower heads (more like rain than a power shower). Spotted a few 'towel dancers' but otherwise, everyone totally at ease with their nudity - as it should be.

mostly always naked or walking around wrapped in towels? many in trunks?
Most guys (including me) would alternate between naked and wrapped. 2-3 guys were in trunks. I saw one changing to street clothes without towel dancing (had a really nice big cock and balls)

no-one walking around balls out the whole time with no towel or towel over shoulder?
I did at times. Other guys did too.
You get to see lots of cocks balls and asses.

For those who remember the joys of Bermondsey Baths, Greenwich baths the idea of segregated separate shower cubicles would be anathema.

I went to go for a swim at Oasis on Thursday but there was a sign saying the showers were closed until the weekend so I didn't bother with my swim.
When are the best times and days to go to Oasis?
I'm based in east London and planning to make it on a regular weekday.

Just reposting this list posted in June 2017. Thanks @gwat
Here is a comprehensive list based on visits and other reviews:
1. Oasis Sports Centre - near Covent Garden
The king of communal showers. Wetside men's changing room features 8 communal showers which open out fully into the main changing area. Towel hooks before you enter. Walkway to toilets and exits to pool go past the shower so plenty of people walk past. Although it's a wetside changing area, nobody showers in trunks. Some even use the urinals completely naked. A very homoerotic experience, but certainly not a gay gym.
2. Sobell Leisure Centre - Islington
About 4-6 open showers with one additional cubicle shower in men's changing area. Towel hooks on the way in. Gets quite busy in the evenings when 5aside footballers are in the changing room.
3. Marshall St Leisure - Soho - yet to visit, but has very good reviews.
4. Better Gym Holloway - Islington - A very small communal shower area. If full, it would be almost cheek-to-cheek. Never seen many using it.
5. Islington Tennis Centre (need confirmation) - Yet to visit.
6. Muscle Bull Gym - Bermondsey (Central) - Four open showers. There's also a men's sauna in the changing room. Attracts gay crowd
7. Cyclebeat - Lombard Court - Approx 6 very open showers in the men's changing area to use after a spinning session.
8. Finsbury Leisure Centre - Islington - Seven open showers in men's changing area
9. Ringside Boxing Gym - Bow - Open showers in the changing area. They are also available for filmmakers who use communal shower scenes.
10. Flaxman Sports Centre - Lambeth - (needs confirmation)
